Issues

Campaign themes

Excerpt:"There are many common sense changes needed to the tax code that will help bring about more fairness and more needed revenue to the state and local governments. "

Higher Education

Excerpt:"I propose that in-state students in their junior year at any state school be “grandfathered” in for any increase in fees and tuition for their final year in school. This will help Washington families to plan more predictably the costs of higher education."

Shared Sacrifice

Excerpt:"As we ask our public and state employees to sacrifice, I believe elected officials should do the same. When elected, I will return 10% of my state salary to the Treasurer, and will ask all state-elected officials, from the Governor on down, to do the same."
